willie Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I think the green with white stripe goes to temp sender, i don't remember where the double green wires go. The cut orange wire does go to the right side tranny but is not used. Quote

Do you still have the orange wire that disappears into the right (passenger) inner fender ? Quote
willie Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I had taped it up because it wasn't being used.. Right side of car came down with the starter wires if i remember correctly. 1 Quote
Scott S. Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I'm working from a '70, so my codes may be off, but the only orange wire I can think of is the heater wire. If you look at the mid left of the photo, you can see which one I'm talking about. Maybe the last owner re routed it ?? 1 Quote
willie Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Scott your car is a 72 right? Not sure if its the same for a 350 as mine is a 454. I will go out tomm and look to see if i can see that orange wire, I will bet i cut it and taped it up, as i was told it was for the tranny and didnt need it. I will also ck the color wire going to my sender for you. Quote
Scott S. Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Montelishi is a '70 with a 350. So yeah, it may be something different.... Hope you figure it out. Quote
Jeff Dodson Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 1 hour ago, Scott S. said: I think the green ones run to the temp sender.... If they're running in the same spot. And the only orange wire I can think of around there should be power to the heater fan. I'd have to take another look. Here are the pics I took yesterday Quote
Jeff Dodson Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 1st - 2 pics are the green temp sensor, probably went to a vacuum port on thermostat housing 3rd TCS connection at the transmission 4th is the old resistor wires to starter then distributor 5th is, I believe the orange wire that goes to the blower. It was cut and inside the harness. I didn't find in until I opened the whole harness 2 Quote
willie Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Hey Jeff, {i will check all of these tomm) I think the first and second pic, on Left side of motor goes to a sending unit in the head, on my BB. Third yes could be tranny (but shouldn't it be on other side of the motor) I think mine is on the left side. Maybe its an oil temp plug, i don't know? Fourth looks right (starter wires) Fifth that is the same wire that was in my harness also cut and tucked and taped up. I was told i didn't need it but it went to the tranny. I don't know how much different the 350-350s are to the 454-400 are, but maybe someone else could chime in that knows better than me. I will confirm what i stated tomm when i get in there! Quote
stangeba Posted January 24 Posted January 24 (edited) I found this, don't know if it helps or not. I think it's for a 71 350 like mine. Edited January 24 by stangeba added some words at bottom 1 Quote

Hey Jeff, i checked today and i i guess because it a BB, its a little different, pic 1 and 2 i don't have 2 wires together with that 45 degree end. I do have one wire, a solid green wire going to my sender in the Left head. And one wire, a green wire with a white stripe going to a sender in my Right side head. On the third wire i do not see any thing like that on the top side of the engine. Hope this helps, i cant get to my parts cars today or tomm to much snow on them now, maybe by Sun just to ck and see. 1 Quote

Willie, that green wire I sent you, or had you order can’t remember, should have the double 45 degree end on it. It’s got the loop wire that does nothing. Green wire on right head, part of the TCS. 2 Quote

I will send you pic, post if you like. I could only see one wire per side. Quote
Dtret Posted January 25 Posted January 25 These are the correct ones for the tcs on the right head. Very possible a big block only thing. Two wire sensor with one wire looping right back to the other wire on the sensor. The final single wire goes to the harness under the booster. 1 Quote
Jeff Dodson Posted January 25 Author Posted January 25 I am also trying to get the idiot lights working as well as the after market mechanical gauges. So do I need to circle one of those wires back into that plug Quote
Scott S. Posted January 26 Posted January 26 One thing to keep in mind is that the senders are different for gauges and "idiot" lights. Not only are "idiot" lights closed contact senders as opposed to graduated senders, but the amperage on factory senders is different. Ask me how I know... lol. 1 Quote

The only ones I want to hook up to work are Oil and Temp, just because they are there. If I remember correctly, the oil and temp wires work off of grounds. In other words, to test them, we would just ground them out and the light would come on. Quote
Scott S. Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Yes, the sensors ground the circuit for the lights when the contacts inside close at a preset temp/ loss of pressure. So grounding the wires out will light them up. Quote
